The 256-color VGA era is considered the golden age of adventure games by many players, and is looked upon fondly by those who have an interest in retro-adventures.

Also, that's the style that most of Sierra's own remakes used (e.g. Quest for Glory 1, Leisure Suit Larry 1, Police Quest 1, Space Quest 1), and by remaking the remaining CGA/EGA games, the whole series get a fairly consistent look. For example, Quest for Glory 1-4 and King's Quest 1-6 (except 4) now all come in versions with a VGA-like look, which can make playing through them all a smoother experience.
